Let's create a chat room where the students can have a chat even when they are not in the same classroom. This way, they can share their views, comments, and suggestions.
1. With editing turned on, go to Add an activity, and select the Chat option.
2. In the Name of this chat room field, enter an appropriate title for the discussion.
3. In the Introduction text field, type in what the discussion is going to be about.
4. For the Next chat time option, choose when you want to open the chat room.
5. For the Repeat sessions option, choose whether you want to chat regularly, or just once.
6. For the Save past sessions option, choose how long, if at all, to keep a record of the conversation.
7. It is up to you to decide whether to allow everyone to view the past sessions or not.
8. For now, you can ignore the Common module settings option.
9. Click on Save and Display.
